Review #: 207
Description: Don Fulano Reposado
Spirit: Tequila
Background: Don Fulano uses some slightly different methods of making tequila than some bigger brands. They use a mix of both copper column and copper pot stills to blend into most of their tequilas. The reposado is also aged in older wine barrels for a minimum of 8 months before being blended together. I would not say I’m a fan of tequila after some less than positive experiences, but I figured I needed to give some high quality ones a chance. My last review was of the anejo and I was pleasantly surprised with it. All Don Fulano products contain no additives.
DISCLAIMER: Don Fulano provided a free bottle for our group to taste alongside one of their brand ambassadors over zoom.

Score: 5
Would I buy a bottle? Yes
Thoughts: Again, I was really surprised and enjoyed this. This was definitely a bit sweeter than the anejo, but seems like a great sipper sitting out on a warm summer evening. I bet this makes some killer cocktails and I may actually look for a bottle of this to add to my bar.
